How to convert nautical miles to centimeters?

Multiplying any value by 1 will get you the same value back. You can do that one time or multiple times.

For example:

• 2 x 1 = 2
• 104 x 1 x 1 x 1 = 104

Multiplying by 1 is the first step in any unit conversion problem. The second step is to replace the number 1 with the conversion factor that is also equal to 1.

For example, if we want to convert 0.001 nautical miles into centimeters we multiply 0.001 nmi by the conversion factor of 185200 cm1 nmi

By replacing the number 1 with the conversion factor, nautical miles are canceled out and we get the result in centimeters. And since the conversion factor is equal to 1, multiplying it with the original value won't change its magnitude and will only change its unit.

Based on this, we can conclude that 0.001 nautical miles are equal to 185.2 centimeters.
